A Food to Suppress Cancer and Arthritis?
In animals given fish oil after being given a carcinogen, there was a reduction of 47% in pre-cancerous growths after four weeks and 38% after twelve weeks, said a report to the Amer. Assn. for Cancer Res., April, l997*.

This was not the first time such results were reported with fish oil, while others have shown its benefit in arthritis, lupus and heart disease.

Does anybody care? Consider that, to put it mildly, fish oils are hardly a toxic substance. There are some doctors who do care and others who don't. A report in Lipids, vol. 31, l996** by a team at Mass. Gen. Hosp., and Harvard Medical School, both in Boston, revealed that in humans, thee was some improvement in the condition of lupus and arthritis patients after taking fish oils.

*By Dr. Takahashi et al, of the National Cancer Res. Inst., Tokyo, and from Sagami Chem. Res. Inst., Kamagawa, Japan.

**Published by the Amer. Assn. of Oil Chemists.
